nanochat by Karpathy - How to build your own ChatGPT for $100
"The best ChatGPT that $100 can buy." That's Andrej Karpathy's positioning for nanochat—a compact, end‑to‑end stack that goes from tokenizer training to a ChatGPT‑style web UI in a few thousand lines of Python (plus a tiny Rust tokenizer).
It's meant to be read, hacked, and run so students, researchers, and tech enthusiats can understand the entire pipeline needed to train a baby version of ChatGPT. In this episode, we walk you through the nanochat repository.
